CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a U.S. National Stage Application under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Application of PCT/SE2015/050654, filed Jun. 4, 2015, which claims the benefit of and priority to SE Application 1450681-0, filed Jun. 4, 2014, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to compositions and methods for treatment, prevention and/or prophylaxis of autoimmune diseases and inflammatory (e.g. chronic inflammatory) conditions. In particular, the invention relates to compositions and methods for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of common autoimmune diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis and psoriasis through inhibition of MTH1.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The listing or discussion of an apparently prior-published document in this specification should not necessarily be taken as an acknowledgement that the document is part of the state of the art or is common general knowledge.

Autoimmune and Inflammatory Disorders

Autoimmune diseases and hyperinflammatory disorders are conditions where a mammal's immune system starts reacting against its own tissues. Such conditions include, without limitation, arthritis, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn's disease, ulcerous colitis, multiple sclerosis, lymphoproliferative diseases (e.g. those caused by Epstein Barr virus and cytomegalovirus), rejection after organ transplantation, Wegener' granulomatosus, psoriasis, Mb Bechterews, Behcets disease, Guillain Barre, dermatomyositis, myositis, polymyositis, primary biliary cirrhosis, anti-phospholipid syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis, autoimmune cardiomyopathy, alopecia areata, atherosclerosis, type 1 diabetes, autoimmune uveitis, Goodpasteure's syndrome, Graves' disease, Hashimotos disease, mixed connective tissue disease, myasthenia gravis, pemphigus vulgaris, pernicious anemia, Sjögren's syndrome, giant cell arteritis, ulcerative colitis, vasculitis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, postpolio syndrome, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Peyronie disease and Dupuytren's contracture.

Shortcomings and Complications with Current Treatment

Today's treatment of inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and disorders is not effective for all patients with diagnosed disease also including a large proportion of patients that experience adverse effects from treatments with existing therapies.

Today's treatment of autoimmune conditions like RA is not effective for all patients with diagnosed disease also including a large proportion of patients that experience adverse effects from treatments with biological agents, as represented by the therapy with TNF-α inhibitors, or from treatment with Methotrexate and COX-2 inhibitors. In similarity to RA, the cause and pathology of autoimmune and (hyper) inflammatory conditions including MS, IBD and the majority of less prevalent autoimmune conditions, is far from understood and many patients suffer from a disease that current treatments do not have the capacity to treat or ameliorate, hence there is a great need to understand the mechanisms driving these diseases which will enable novel ways for treatments.

The present invention aims at providing new treatments for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases based on immunomodulatory effects that can be achieved by inhibition of the MTH1 enzyme.

PRIOR ART

Engelhardt, H. et al. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (2013), 56(11), 4264-4276 discloses certain 6-aryl-2,4-diaminopyrimidines having an additional pyrimidine appendage as histamine H4 receptor modulators. The paper suggests that the compounds are useful for the treatment of e.g. immune and inflammatory conditions, but there are no data that supports such statements. The only 6-aryl compounds that are exemplified or mentioned are phenyl or 3-chlorophenyl and there is nothing that suggests that any particular substitution pattern, e.g. 2,3-disubstituted phenyls, or heteroaryls, would be particularly advantageous.

US patent application US 2010/0016344 disclose certain 6-aryl-2,4-diaminopyrimidines having an additional pyrimidine appendage as histamine H4 receptor modulators. The compounds are claimed to be useful for the treatment of e.g. autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Data supporting the usefulness in the treatment of inflammatory pain is presented. There is no support that the compounds would be effective in the treatment of autoimmune diseases in general. The preferred 6-aryl is stated to be phenyl or 3-chlorophenyl although also 3,5-dichlorophenyl and 5-chloro-5-methoxyphenyl are exemplified. However, there is nothing that suggests that 2,3-disubstituted phenyls would be particularly advantageous.

International patent application WO 2013/066839 discloses three 6-(3-pyridyl)-(2,4-diaminopyrimidines as HDAC inhibitors. However, the 3-pyridyl is unsubstituted and there is nothing that suggests that replacing them with other heteroaryls or substituted phenyls would be advantageous. Moreover, the substituent on the 4-amino group contains an essential 5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazol-3-yl group.

International patent application WO 2005/066839 discloses benzamides which are necessarily substituted in the 2-position by hydroxy or amino. In one case this moiety is linked to the 4-amino group of a 2,4-diamino-6-(3-pyridyl)pyrimidine. The compounds are stated to be useful in the treatment of cell prolifeartive diseases and conditions. Autoimmune or inflammatory disorders are not mentioned or suggested.

International patent application WO 2010/059658 describes 2,4-diaminopyrimidines substituted in the 6-position with 6-indazolyl or 3-cyano-2-fluorophenyl, where the latter is just a synthetic precursor to the former. In addition, the relevant indazoles all carry a 3-amino substituent. Although immune diseases are mentioned in the text, there are no data to support the usefulness of the compounds for such diseases; the only claimed use is for cancer. The same compounds are also discussed in and J. R. Medina Journal of Medicinal Chemistry (2011), 54, 1871-1895, where it is stated that the compounds only modestly inhibits tumor growth in vivo.

International patent application WO 2006/078886 describes 2,4-diaminopyrimidines substituted in the 6-position by phenyl and where the 4-amine is substituted by an arylalkyl or heteroarylalkyl group. The phenyl must be unsubstituted or have one or more alkoxy substituents. The arylalkyl and heteroarylalkyl must be unsubstituted or have one or more halogens, cyano and/or hydroxy. The compounds are claimed to be useful to treat disorders where wnt-signalling is involved, but inflammatory or auto-immune disorders are not mentioned.

International patent application WO 2005/026129 discloses 4,6-disubstituted aminopyrimidines as protein kinase modulators useful in the treatment of e.g. inflammation an autoimmune diseases. Of the 385 examples only two are 2,4-diaminopyrimidines and both these have a phenyl attached directly to the 4-amino group of the pyrimidine. These phenyls also carry an additional 4-aminosubstituent.

Two publications from the group of H. Junjappa (Indian Journal Chemistry (1985), 24B 466; Synthesis (1980), 748) describes the synthesis of certain 2-amino-4-(N-alkylamino)-6-arylpyrimidines. The publications do not mention or suggest the use of the synthesized compounds in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.

Japanese patents JP49021147 and JP49021148 disclose certain 2-amino-4-(N-alkylamino)-6-(pyridyl)pyrimidines claimed to be anti-inflammatory. There is however no data to support this claim. Also, all pyridines are unsubstituted and there is nothing that indicates that substituents on the pyridines would be beneficial.

There are numerous 2-amino-4-(N-alkylamino)-6-arylpyrimidines that are, or that at some point have been stated to be, commercially available but that do not have any ascribed pharmaceutical use ascribed to them.

MTH1 inhibitors have been described in Streib, M. et al. Angewandte Chemie, Int, Ed. (2014), 52, 305-309. The compounds are organometallic and are not substituted 2,4-diaminopyrimidines.

Huber, K. V. M. et al. Nature (2014), 508, 222-227 describe certain compounds, i.e. (S)-crizotinib, as MTH1 inhibitors. However, the compounds are not substituted 2,4-diaminopyrimidines.

Gad, H. et al. Nature (2014), 508, 215-221 and Saleh, A. et al. Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis (2015), 104, 1, describe certain 2,4-diaminopyrimidines as MTH1 inhibitors. However, there is nothing that suggests that the compounds are useful for treatment of inflammatory or auto-immune diseases.

International patent application WO 2013/066839 discloses certain 6-aryl-2,4-diaminopyrimidines, which may be useful in the treatment of cancer.

Chinese patent application CN104288170 describes the natural product echinacoside as an inhibitor of MTH1. However this compound is a sugar derivative and not a pyrimidine

Kambe, T. et al. Journal of the American Chemical Society (2014), 136, 10777 demonstrate a tetrazole-based MTH1 ligand.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In autoimmune conditions and after organ transplantation, it is vital to eliminate the activated auto-reactive lymphocytes while preferably preserving their normal counterparts. Inhibiting MTH1 activity will kill the activated lymphocytes and thus reduce destructive inflammation. It should therefore be a promising novel therapy for autoimmunity and organ rejection, either as monotherapy or in combination with other drugs (e.g. cortisone) that are currently on the market.

We have observed that silencing the enzymatic activity of MTH1 in human lymphocytes results in selective killing of activated lymphocytes. Resting lymphocytes are not affected by the treatment. The present invention aims at providing a new treatment option for autoimmune conditions and transplantation patients through pharmacologic inhibition of MTH1. Diseases which may benefit from this treatment include rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn's disease, ulcerous colitis, multiple sclerosis, lymphoproliferative diseases (e.g. those caused by Epstein Barr virus and cytomegalovirus), rejection after organ transplantation, Wegener' granulomatosus, psoriasis, Mb Bechterews, Behcets disease, Guillain Barre, dermatomyositis, myositis, polymyositis, primary biliary cirrhosis, anti-phospholipid syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis, autoimmune cardiomyopathy, alopecia areata, atherosclerosis, type 1 diabetes, autoimmune uveitis, Goodpasteure's syndrome, Graves' disease, Hashimotos disease, mixed connective tissue disease, myasthenia gravis, pemphigus vulgaris, pernicious anemia, Sjögren's syndrome, giant cell arteritis, ulcerative colitis, vasculitis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, postpolio syndrome, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Peyronie disease and Dupuytren's contracture.

The compounds of formula (I) as defined herein above may be referred to herein as “the compounds of the invention”.

Pharmaceutically-acceptable salts include acid addition salts and base addition salts. Such salts may be formed by conventional means, for example by reaction of a free acid or a free base form of a compound of formula I with one or more equivalents of an appropriate acid or base, optionally in a solvent, or in a medium in which the salt is insoluble, followed by removal of said solvent, or said medium, using standard techniques (e.g. in vacuo, by freeze-drying or by filtration). Salts may also be prepared by exchanging a counter-ion of a compound of the invention in the form of a salt with another counter-ion, for example using a suitable ion exchange resin. For the avoidance of doubt, solvates are also included within the scope of the invention.

Compounds of the invention may contain double bonds and may thus exist as E (entgegen) and Z (zusammen) geometric isomers about each individual double bond. All such isomers and mixtures thereof are included within the scope of the invention.

Compounds of the invention may also exhibit tautomerism. All tautomeric forms and mixtures thereof are included within the scope of the invention.

Compounds of the invention may also contain one or more asymmetric carbon atoms and may therefore exhibit optical and/or diastereoisomerism. Diastereoisomers may be separated using conventional techniques, e.g. chromatography or fractional crystallisation. The various stereoisomers may be isolated by separation of a racemic or other mixture of the compounds using conventional, e.g. fractional crystallisation or HPLC, techniques. Alternatively the desired optical isomers may be made by reaction of the appropriate optically active starting materials under conditions which will not cause racemisation or epimerisation (i.e. a ‘chiral pool’ method), by reaction of the appropriate starting material with a ‘chiral auxiliary’ which can subsequently be removed at a suitable stage, by derivatisation (i.e. a resolution, including a dynamic resolution), for example with a homochiral acid followed by separation of the diastereomeric derivatives by conventional means such as chromatography, or by reaction with an appropriate chiral reagent or chiral catalyst all under conditions known to the skilled person. All stereoisomers and mixtures thereof are included within the scope of the invention.

The terms “halo” or “halogen”, when used herein, includes fluoro, chloro, bromo and iodo (for example, fluoro and chloro).

Unless otherwise specified, C_(1-q) alkyl groups (where q is the upper limit of the range) defined herein may be straight-chain or, when there is a sufficient number (i.e. a minimum of two or three, as appropriate) of carbon atoms, be branched-chain, and/or cyclic (so forming a C_(3-q)-cycloalkyl group). When there is a sufficient number (i.e. a minimum of four) of carbon atoms, such groups may also be part cyclic. Part cyclic alkyl groups that may be mentioned include cyclopropylmethyl and cyclohexylethyl. Such alkyl groups may also be saturated or, when there is a sufficient number (i.e. a minimum of two) of carbon atoms, be unsaturated (forming, for example, a C_(2-q) alkenyl or a C_(2-q) alkynyl group).

Unless otherwise specified, C_(1-q) alkylene groups (where q is the upper limit of the range) defined herein may (in a similar manner to the definition of C_(1-q) alkyl) be straight-chain or, when there is a sufficient number (i.e. a minimum of two or three, as appropriate) of carbon atoms, be branched-chain, and/or cyclic (so forming a C_(3-q)-cycloalkylene group). When there is a sufficient number (i.e. a minimum of four) of carbon atoms, such groups may also be part cyclic. Such alkylene groups may also be saturated or, when there is a sufficient number (i.e. a minimum of two) of carbon atoms, be unsaturated (forming, for example, a C_(2-q)alkenylene or a C_(2-q)alkynylene group). Particular alkylene groups that may be mentioned include those that are straight-chained or cyclic and saturated.

Heterocycloalkyl groups that may be mentioned include non-aromatic monocyclic and bicyclic heterocycloalkyl groups (which groups may further be bridged) in which at least one (e.g. one to four) of the atoms in the ring system is other than carbon (i.e. a heteroatom), and in which the total number of atoms in the ring system is between three and twelve (e.g. between five and ten and, most preferably, between three and eight, e.g. a 5- or 6-membered heterocycloalkyl group). Further, such heterocycloalkyl groups may be saturated or unsaturated containing one or more double and/or triple bonds, forming for example a C_(2-q) (e.g. C_(4-q)) heterocycloalkenyl (where q is the upper limit of the range) or a C_(7-q) heterocycloalkynyl group. C_(2-q) heterocycloalkyl groups that may be mentioned include 7-azabicyclo-[2.2.1]heptanyl, 6-azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptanyl, 6-azabicyclo-[3.2.1]-octanyl, 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octanyl, aziridinyl, azetidinyl, dihydropyranyl, dihydropyridyl, dihydropyrrolyl (including 2,5-dihydropyrrolyl), 1,3,2-dioxaborinane, 1,3,6,2-dioxazaborocane, 1,3,2□dioxaborolane, dioxolanyl (including 1,3-dioxolanyl), dioxanyl (including 1,3-dioxanyl and 1,4-dioxanyl), dithianyl (including 1,4-dithianyl), dithiolanyl (including 1,3-dithiolanyl), imidazolidinyl, imidazolinyl, morpholinyl, 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanyl, 6-oxabicyclo[3.2.1]-octanyl, oxetanyl, oxiranyl, piperazinyl, piperidinyl, pyranyl, pyrazolidinyl, pyrrolidinonyl, pyrrolidinyl, pyrrolinyl, quinuclidinyl, sulfolanyl, 3-sulfolenyl, tetrahydropyranyl, tetrahydrofuryl, tetrahydropyridyl (such as 1,2,3,4-tetrahydropyridyl and 1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridyl), thietanyl, thiiranyl, thiolanyl, tetrahydrothiopyranyl, thiomorpholinyl, trithianyl (including 1,3,5-trithianyl), tropanyl and the like. Substituents on heterocycloalkyl groups may, where appropriate, be located on any atom in the ring system including a heteroatom. Further, in the case where the substituent is another cyclic compound, then the cyclic compound may be attached through a single atom on the heterocycloalkyl group, forming a so-called “spiro”-compound. The point of attachment of heterocycloalkyl groups may be via any atom in the ring system including (where appropriate) a heteroatom (such as a nitrogen atom), or an atom on any fused carbocyclic ring that may be present as part of the ring system. Heterocycloalkyl groups may also be in the N- or S-oxidised form. At each occurrence when mentioned herein, a heterocycloalkyl group is preferably a 3- to 8-membered heterocycloalkyl group (e.g. a 5- or 6-membered heterocycloalkyl group).

The term “aryl”, when used herein, includes C₆₋₁₀ aromatic groups. Such groups may be monocyclic or bicyclic and, when bicyclic, be either wholly or partly aromatic. C₆₋₁₀ aryl groups that may be mentioned include phenyl, naphthyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthyl, indanyl, and the like (e.g. phenyl, naphthyl and the like). For the avoidance of doubt, the point of attachment of substituents on aryl groups may be via any carbon atom of the ring system.

The term “heteroaryl” (or heteroaromatic), when used herein, includes 5- to 11-membered heteroaromatic groups containing one or more heteroatoms selected from oxygen, nitrogen and/or sulfur. Such heteroaryl group may comprise one, or two rings, of which at least one is aromatic. Substituents on heteroaryl/heteroaromatic groups may, where appropriate, be located on any atom in the ring system including a heteroatom. The point of attachment of heteroaryl/heteroaromatic groups may be via any atom in the ring system including (where appropriate) a heteroatom. Bicyclic heteroaryl/heteroaromatic groups may comprise a benzene ring fused to one or more further aromatic or non-aromatic heterocyclic rings, in which instances, the point of attachment of the polycyclic heteroaryl/heteroaromatic group may be via any ring including the benzene ring or the heteroaryl/heteroaromatic or heterocycloalkyl ring. Examples of heteroaryl/heteroaromatic groups that may be mentioned include pyridinyl, pyrrolyl, furanyl, thiophenyl, oxadiazolyl, thiadiazolyl, thiazolyl, oxazolyl, pyrazolyl, triazolyl, tetrazolyl, isoxazolyl, isothiazolyl, imidazolyl, imidazopyrimidinyl, imidazothiazolyl, thienothiophenyl, pyrimidinyl, furopyridinyl, indolyl, azaindolyl, pyrazinyl, indazolyl, pyrimidinyl, quinolinyl, isoquinolinyl, quinazolinyl, benzofuranyl, benzothiophenyl, benzoimidazolyl, benzoxazolyl, benzothiazolyl, benzotriazolyl and purinyl. The oxides of heteroaryl/heteroaromatic groups are also embraced within the scope of the invention (e.g. the N-oxide). As stated above, heteroaryl includes polycyclic (e.g. bicyclic) groups where all rings are aromatic, and partly aromatic groups where at least one ring is aromatic and at least one other ring is not aromatic. Hence, other heteroaryl groups that may be mentioned include e.g. benzo[1,3]dioxolyl, benzo[1,4]dioxinyl, dihydrobenzo[d]isothiazolyl, 1,2-dihydrobenzo[d][1,2,3]diazaborininyl, 3,4-dihydro-1H-benzo[c][1,2]oxaborininyl, 1,3-dihydrobenzo[c][1,2]oxaborolyl, 3,4-dihydrobenz[1,4]oxazinyl, dihydrobenzothiophene, indolinyl, 5H,6H,7H-pyrrolo[1,2-b]pyrimidinyl, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolinyl, thiochromane and the like.

Heteroatoms that may be mentioned include phosphorus, silicon, preferably boron and, more preferably, oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur.

For the avoidance of doubt, in cases in which the identity of two or more substituents in a compound of the invention may be the same, the actual identities of the respective substituents are not in any way interdependent.

Likewise, when R³ represents —X-L-J, L represents -L¹-L²-, L¹ represents —C(O)N(R^(C))— and L² represents a single bond, then formula I can be represented by

Likewise, when J is phenyl substituted in the 4-position by D¹, D¹ is -A⁴-S(O)_(n)R^(f4) and A⁴ represents —C(Q)N(R^(N))—, then formula I can be represented by

The present invention also embraces isotopically-labeled compounds of the present invention which are identical to those recited herein, but for the fact that one or more atoms are replaced by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number usually found in nature (or the most abundant one found in nature). All isotopes of any particular atom or element as specified herein are contemplated within the scope of the compounds of the invention. Hence, the compounds of the invention also include deuterated compounds, i.e. in which one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced by the hydrogen isotope deuterium.

All individual features (e.g. preferred features) mentioned herein may be taken in isolation or in combination with any other feature (including preferred features) mentioned herein (hence, preferred features may be taken in conjunction with other preferred features, or independently of them).

In one embodiment, the compound according to the invention is selected from the compounds of Examples 1-761.

As discussed hereinbefore, compounds of the invention are indicated as pharmaceuticals. According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a compound of the invention, as hereinbefore defined, for use as a pharmaceutical.

In another aspect of the invention the use of a compound of the invention, as hereinbefore defined, is provided for the manufacture of a medicament for the treatment of autoimmune or inflammatory conditions.

Although compounds of the invention may possess pharmacological activity as such, certain pharmaceutically-acceptable (e.g. “protected”) derivatives of compounds of the invention may exist or be prepared which may not possess such activity, but may be administered parenterally or orally and thereafter be metabolised in the body to form compounds of the invention. Such compounds (which may possess some pharmacological activity, provided that such activity is appreciably lower than that of the “active” compounds to which they are metabolised) may therefore be described as “prodrugs” of compounds of the invention.

By “prodrug of a compound of the invention”, we include compounds that form a compound of the invention, in an experimentally-detectable amount, within a predetermined time, following enteral or parenteral administration (e.g. oral or parenteral administration). All prodrugs of the compounds of the invention are included within the scope of the invention.

Furthermore, certain compounds of the invention may possess no or minimal pharmacological activity as such, but may be administered parenterally or orally, and thereafter be metabolised in the body to form compounds of the invention that possess pharmacological activity as such. Such compounds (which also includes compounds that may possess some pharmacological activity, but that activity is appreciably lower than that of the “active” compounds of the invention to which they are metabolised), may also be described as “prodrugs”.

Thus, the compounds of the invention are useful because they possess pharmacological activity, and/or are metabolised in the body following oral or parenteral administration to form compounds, which possess pharmacological activity.

It is stated herein that the compounds of the invention may be useful in the treatment of autoimmune or inflammatory conditions. For the purposes of this specification, and for the avoidance of doubt, the term “treatment” includes treatment per se, prevention and prophylaxis.

Preferably the autoimmune or inflammatory conditions are selected from the group comprising: rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn's disease, ulcerous colitis, multiple sclerosis, lymphoproliferative diseases (e.g. those caused by Epstein Barr virus and cytomegalovirus), rejection after organ transplantation, Wegener' granulomatosus, psoriasis, Mb Bechterews, Behcets disease, Guillain Barre, dermatomyositis, myositis, polymyositis, primary biliary cirrhosis, anti-phospholipid syndrome, autoimmune hepatitis, autoimmune cardiomyopathy, alopecia areata, atherosclerosis, type 1 diabetes, autoimmune uveitis, Goodpasteure's syndrome, Graves' disease, Hashimotos disease, mixed connective tissue disease, myasthenia gravis, pemphigus vulgaris, pernicious anemia, Sjögren's syndrome, giant cell arteritis, ulcerative colitis, vasculitis, Churg-Strauss syndrome, postpolio syndrome, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Peyronie disease and Dupuytren's contracture.

In certain embodiments of the present invention, the autoimmune or inflammatory conditions are selected from rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, rejection after organ transplantation, psoriasis and atherosclerosis.

In certain embodiments of the present invention, the autoimmune or inflammatory conditions are selected from rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, rejection after organ transplantation, and atherosclerosis.

In certain embodiments of the present invention, the autoimmune or inflammatory condition is not psoriasis.

Compounds of the invention will normally be administered orally, intravenously, subcutaneously, buccally, rectally, dermally, nasally, tracheally, bronchially, sublingually, intranasally, topically, by any other parenteral route or via inhalation, in a pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form.

Compounds of the invention may be administered alone, but are preferably administered by way of known pharmaceutical compositions/formulations, including tablets, capsules or elixirs for oral administration, suppositories for rectal administration, sterile solutions or suspensions for parenteral or intramuscular administration, and the like.

Compounds of the invention (i.e. compounds that inhibit MTH1) may be administered in the form of tablets or capsules, e.g., time-release capsules that are taken orally. Alternatively, the compounds of the invention may be in a liquid form and may be taken orally or by injection. The compounds of the invention may also be in the form of suppositories, or, creams, gels, and foams e.g. that can be applied to the skin. In addition, they may be in the form of an inhalant that is applied nasally.

Such compositions/formulations may be prepared in accordance with standard and/or accepted pharmaceutical practice.

According to a further aspect of the invention there is thus provided a pharmaceutical composition/formulation including a compound of the invention, as hereinbefore defined, optionally in admixture with a pharmaceutically acceptable adjuvant, diluent and/or carrier. Such compositions/formulations may be of use in the treatment, prevention and/or prophylaxis of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions which benefit by inhibition of MTH1.

Depending on e.g. potency and physical characteristics of the compound of the invention (i.e. active ingredient), pharmaceutical formulations that may be mentioned include those in which the active ingredient is present in at least 1% (or at least 10%, at least 30% or at least 50%) by weight. That is, the ratio of active ingredient to the other components (i.e. the addition of adjuvant, diluent and carrier) of the pharmaceutical composition is at least 1:99 (or at least 10:90, at least 30:70 or at least 50:50) by weight.

The invention further provides a process for the preparation of a pharmaceutical formulation, as hereinbefore defined, which process comprises bringing into association a compound of the invention, as hereinbefore defined, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof with a pharmaceutically-acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier.

In yet another aspect the present invention provides methods for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions comprising administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention to a subject (e.g. patient) in need of such treatment.

“Patients” include mammalian (including human) patients.

The term “effective amount” refers to an amount of a compound, which confers a therapeutic effect on the treated patient. The effect may be objective (i.e. measurable by some test or marker) or subjective (i.e. the subject gives an indication of or feels an effect).

Compounds of the invention may also be combined with other therapeutic agents that are useful in the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.

Examples of therapeutic agents that may be useful in combination with compounds of this invention are glucocorticoids (e.g. cortisone or prednisolone, TNF-alpha inhibitors (e.g. infliximab), anti-CD20 (e.g. rituximab), immunosupressants (e.g. mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprine) or antimetabolites (e.g. methotrexate).

According to a further aspect of the invention, there is provided a combination product comprising:

-   (A) a compound of the invention, as hereinbefore defined; and -   (B) another therapeutic agent that is useful in the treatment of an     autoimmune or inflammatory condition,     wherein each of components (A) and (B) is formulated in admixture     with a pharmaceutically-acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier.

Such combination products provide for the administration of a compound of the invention in conjunction with the other therapeutic agent, and may thus be presented either as separate formulations, wherein at least one of those formulations comprises a compound of the invention, and at least one comprises the other therapeutic agent, or may be presented (i.e. formulated) as a combined preparation (i.e. presented as a single formulation including a compound of the invention and the other therapeutic agent).

Thus, there is further provided:

-   (1) a pharmaceutical formulation including a compound of the     invention, as hereinbefore defined, another therapeutic agent that     is useful in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and inflammatory     conditions, and a pharmaceutically-acceptable adjuvant, diluent or     carrier; and -   (2) a kit of parts comprising components:     -   (a) a pharmaceutical formulation including a compound of the         invention, as hereinbefore defined, in admixture with a         pharmaceutically-acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier; and     -   (b) a pharmaceutical formulation including another therapeutic         agent that is useful in the treatment of autoimmune and         inflammatory conditions in admixture with a         pharmaceutically-acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier, which         components (a) and (b) are each provided in a form that is         suitable for administration in conjunction with the other.

The invention further provides a process for the preparation of a combination product as hereinbefore defined, which process comprises bringing into association a compound of the invention, as hereinbefore defined, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof with the other therapeutic agent that is useful in the treatment of autoimmune or inflammatory conditions, and at least one pharmaceutically-acceptable adjuvant, diluent or carrier.

By “bringing into association”, we mean that the two components are rendered suitable for administration in conjunction with each other.

Thus, in relation to the process for the preparation of a kit of parts as hereinbefore defined, by bringing the two components “into association with” each other, we include that the two components of the kit of parts may be:

-   (i) provided as separate formulations (i.e. independently of one     another), which are subsequently brought together for use in     conjunction with each other in combination therapy; or -   (ii) packaged and presented together as separate components of a     “combination pack” for use in conjunction with each other in     combination therapy.

Compounds of the invention may be administered at varying doses. Oral, pulmonary and topical dosages (and subcutaneous dosages, although these dosages may be relatively lower) may range from between about 0.01 mg/kg of body weight per day (mg/kg/day) to about 100 mg/kg/day, preferably about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg/day, and more preferably about 0.1 to about 5.0 mg/kg/day. For e.g. oral administration, the compositions typically contain between about 0.01 mg to about 2000 mg, for example between about 0.1 mg to about 500 mg, or between 1 mg to about 100 mg, of the active ingredient. Intravenously, the most preferred doses will range from about 0.001 to about 10 mg/kg/hour during constant rate infusion. Advantageously, compounds may be administered in a single daily dose, or the total daily dosage may be administered in divided doses of two, three or four times daily.

In any event, the physician, or the skilled person, will be able to determine the actual dosage which will be most suitable for an individual patient, which is likely to vary with the route of administration, the type and severity of the condition that is to be treated, as well as the species, age, weight, sex, renal function, hepatic function and response of the particular patient to be treated. The above-mentioned dosages are exemplary of the average case; there can, of course, be individual instances where higher or lower dosage ranges are merited, and such are within the scope of this invention.

Compounds of the invention may also have the advantage that they may be more efficacious than, be less toxic than, be longer acting than, be more potent than, produce fewer side effects than, be more easily absorbed than, and/or have a better pharmacokinetic profile (e.g. higher oral bioavailability and/or lower clearance) than, and/or have other useful pharmacological, physical, or chemical properties over, compounds known in the prior art, whether for use in the above-stated indications or otherwise. In particular, compounds of the invention may have the advantage that they are more efficacious and/or exhibit advantageous properties in vivo.

It is contemplated that any method or composition described herein can be implemented with respect to any other method or composition described herein.

Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

BIOLOGICAL EXAMPLES Biological Example 1

MTH1 Enzymatic Assay and IC50 Value Determination

MTH1 catalyzes the hydrolysis of dGTP to dGMP and PPi. By coupling the reaction to pyrophosphatase added in excess PPi is converted to Pi that can be detected by using the malachite green assay reagent. Two different formats were used for IC50 determinations in the enzymatic assay, 96- and 384-well format.

96-Well Method: Briefly, the compound to be analyzed is diluted in DMSO in a 1:3 dilution series generating 12 different compound concentrations giving a final DMSO concentration of 1% in the assay well. MTH1 diluted in assay buffer (100 mM Tris-acetate, 40 mM NaCl, 10 mM magnesium acetate, 1 mM DTT and 0.005% Tween 20) fortified with E. coli pyrophosphatase (0.2 U/ml) is added to a final concentration of 6 nM. dGTP diluted in assay buffer is added to a final concentration of 100 μM. The reaction mixture is incubated for 15 minutes at 22° C. To 100 μl reaction mixture, 25 μl Malachite green assay regent (0.095% Malachite green in 17% H2SO4, 1.5% Ammonium molybdate, 0.17% Tween 20) is added, followed by incubation with shaking for 15 minutes at 22° C. The absorbance of the assay plate is read at 630 nm using a Hidex Sense Multilabel plate reader. The IC50 value is determined by fitting a dose response curve to the data points using nonlinear regression analysis and the equation Y=Bottom+(Top−Bottom)/(1+10^((Log IC50−X)*HillSlope)), where Y is the read absorbance at 630 nm and X is log [compound].

384-Well Method: The compounds to be tested are nano-dispensed, in 11 concentrations, directly in assay plates, with a final DMSO concentration <1%.

Biological Example 2

Cellular Assay and IC50 Value Determination

Primary T-lymphocytes are isolated from donated human blood and thereafter activated with CD3/CD28 Dynabeads. The T-lymphocytes are treated with an MTH1 inhibitor, positive control or vehicle for 24-96 hrs. Cell viability can be measured by using standard assays, such as for instance a resazurin assay. In some experiments, the cells are stained with Cell Trace Violet at the start of the culture. The dye is diluted as the cells divide and gives a measurement of cell proliferation (see FIG. 1 for an example).
